The Lightner Method™•The Language of Wholeness™ is rooted in new paradigms for human:
  • Well-being
  • Architecture (Structure)
  • Function (Coordination of action-movement)
  • Adaptation (Learning)
The more accurate your perspective the more access you'll have to clarity, ease, freedom and empowerment.

The core of the work is to support you to experience the mechanics and miracle of your own being so you can harness that information to live how and do what you want with less obstacles and roadblocks. This is the foundation for living a thriving life.

Here is a brief overview of the philosophy of Wholeness in Application.
